When I first got to college after going to Catholic school
Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

You know what’s kind of beautiful?
In French, you don’t really say “I miss you.” You say “tu me manques,” which is closer to “you are missing from me.”
I love that. “You are missing from me.” You are a part of me, you are essential to my being. You are like a limb, or an organ, or blood. I cannot function without you.
I do like that.
Mme O taught me this. aaahh

Brother’s Pizzeria in Fresh Meadows is Alec Baldwin’s favorite pizzeria. He reportedly stops by on his way to and/or from JFK. If the Bloviator’s recommendation is not enough for you, maybe mine is? It’s a great classic slice. Nothing “artisanal” or fancy, just a crisp, light, and well-seasoned. One won’t be enough. Two might fill you up, but it’s likely you could eat three, maybe four, in a sitting. Be forewarned: It’s seasoned aggressively with oregano. But that’s what gives it the classic pizza parlor flavor. 185-04 Horace Harding Expressway, Fresh Meadows NY 11365 (just off Exit 25 on the LIE; map); 718-445-7888

I found this man on 7th Avenue in Park Slope. He was leaning heavily on his cane, looking down, wearing a grimaced face. I felt bad for him, so I smiled and waved when I walked past. His face changed completely. He lit up, smiled wide, and gave me a cheery greeting. There was nothing forced about it. He seemed like a man who went through life looking for the smallest excuses to be happy.
I walked 50 feet down the sidewalk, turned around, and walked back to him. “I want to take your photo,” I told him, “because of how big you smiled when I walked by.”
He said: “Well I saw someone smiling at me who I didn’t even know. So I thought: ‘By God! I Better do something!’”
